The excitement of kicking off a new season, the smell of popcorn and stadium foods in the air, the first crack of the bat and homerun ball over the wall…these are the things that baseball fans wait for every year.<\/p>\n

The MLB season officially kicked off on March 25th with a special ‘Opening Night’ game featuring the Yankees and Giants, but the Yankees didn’t have their first 2026 homestand until Friday April 3rd, and there was a pretty unique way of getting to the stadium to start the season this year…<\/p>\n

…and yes, I agree CC, Opening Day in the Bronx SHOULD be a holiday!<\/p>\n

Nostalgia Train Delivers Tons of Excited Yankees Fans to the Stadium<\/p>\n

Just as they did for the Mets home opener the week prior, on Friday, April 3rd, nostalgic trains pulled up to Yankee stadium carrying tons of very excited Yankee fans to kick off the season in the Bronx.<\/p>\n

The New York Transit Museum and the MTA rolled out the antique and legendary NYC Subway trains to help NY baseball fans ride to the game in style again in 2026<\/a>. As stated by the MTA:<\/p>\n

Some lucky fans\u00a0who\u00a0departed\u00a0from Grand Central\u201342 St\u00a0turned back the clock aboard New York City Transit\u2019s legendary 1917 IRT Lo-V Nostalgia Train for a line drive directly up to Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n

You never know who you might bump into on the nostalgia train heading to the Bronx. More than just a bunch of rowdy fans (many who played hooky from work on Friday) and even some former Yankees players joined in on the fun. They too wanted to\u00a0hang out with fans and experience the thrill of the day, and the ride.<\/p>\n

I can tell you that there’s no way i’d be able to keep my cool if I was on the Subway and turned around to see CC Sabathia or Dellin Betances on the train. NYC Transit President Crichlow seemed pretty excited about the two former Yankees riding the train…<\/p>\n

We\u2019re thrilled that two Yankees legends, CC Sabathia and Dellin Betances joined us to continue this tradition of getting fans to the game on our vintage train fleet.\u00a0All season long New Yorkers can depend on New York City Transit to get them to the game at Yankee Stadium safely and efficiently.<\/p>\n

An Inside Look at a NY Yankees Suite Experience<\/p>\n

I’ve been lucky enough to experience many views at Yankee stadium, field level, the bleachers, my old season ticket spot in section 234, even the upper deck has great views, but nothing will ever compare to a luxury suite.<\/p>\n
